INfo: I do digital artwork, pre-press, print work, lots of photoshop, illustrator, digital photography work, web work etc.
I'm currently running a Dell Dimension 8200 and It's becoming slow and the fact that it's packed with RDRAM pisses me off, because for a little more than the price of upgraded RAM, I can build a whole new system...
Anywho, here's what I've come up with:
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3700BNBOX
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model VS1GBKIT400
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST380817AS 80GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive (might add another one of these)
LITE-ON Black IDE DVD Burner Model SOHW-193S Black
SONY Black IDE CD-ROM Drive Model CDU5225
ePOWER EP-520XP-C1B 520Watts Power Supply
ASPIRE X-CRUISE -BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
eVGA 256-P2-N386 Geforce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
newegg.com puts me at: $869.66 for all that + $30 shipping...
Any compatability issues or items i might want to swap out for different brand/models?
Thanks!
